Score 88/100 · Drink 2003-2013, Robert Parker, Jan 2003

The 1993 is an excellent effort in this more challenging vintage. One of the pleasant surprises of recent tastings has been how many fine 1993 Chateauneuf du Papes there are. This vintage is over-looked today, but well-stored examples are beginning to drink beautifully. Clos des Papes’ dense ruby-colored1993 exhibits plenty of kirsch, soy, and Asian spices along with a bit of shortness and toughness in the finish. Although fully mature, it will keep for another 8-10 years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
